HAM AND PINEAPPLE DINNER
A great take on a Hawaiian-style dinner. This one's great for that leftover ham. Cubed ham sauteed with onions and pineapple in a sweet sauce. Kids love it and it's great served over rice or noodles.

PINEAPPLE INFUSED AFTER DINNER DRINK (PINEAPPLE-CELLO)
Ran into a special on fresh pineapples, and my aversion to waste led me to this idea. Pineapple, lemon and ginger infused vodka with a simple syrup, to be kept in the freezer til time to share. If you use an 80 proof vodka it's probably going to freeze, but you simply set it in a sink of water for a few minutes and it'll thaw.

Steps:
- Remove top from pineapple and discard. Remove bottom and cut into chunks to fit into jar. Cut skin off pineapple in strips narrow enough to fit in jar. Core pineapple and reserve core. Save the pineapple for dessert and put the scraps into the jar. Quarter the lemon and add to jar, along with the knob of ginger. Cover with the alcohol and screw lid tightly. Put the jar somewhere cool and dark and let it set for at least 2 weeks, the longer the better. When you are ready, pour the contents through a cheesecloth lined strainer and discard the scraps, although the ginger is still good for another batch or for cooking, like pickled ginger. Combine sugar and water and bring to a boil for 5 or so minutes. Let syrup cool, add to alcohol, put in jar and store in freezer til ready to serve. Tastes like pineapple KoolAid, you'll never know it's alcohol til it hits home, so to speak. Absolutely a pineapple-lovers dram.

Tips:
- Choose ripe pineapples: Look for pineapples with a deep golden yellow color and a slightly sweet aroma. Avoid pineapples with green or brown spots, as these are not ripe and will not be as flavorful.
- Cut the pineapple properly: To cut a pineapple, first slice off the top and bottom. Then, stand the pineapple upright and slice it in half lengthwise. Remove the core from each half, then cut the pineapple into slices or chunks.
- Use fresh pineapple juice: Fresh pineapple juice is the best way to add a tropical flavor to your dishes. You can make your own pineapple juice by juicing fresh pineapple chunks, or you can buy it in the store.
- Don't overcook the pineapple: Pineapple is a delicate fruit, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Experiment with different cooking methods: Pineapple can be cooked in a variety of ways, including grilling, roasting, sautéing, and baking. Try different cooking methods to find the one that you like best.

Pineapple is a versatile fruit that can be used in a variety of dishes, from sweet to savory. Its tropical flavor and bright color make it a popular ingredient in both main courses and desserts.
